Air of 2013: fan always on top
I have a MacBook Air from mid-2013, the last El Capitan running everything.
He began to have constantly the fan at the top at all times. Well, when the computer wakes up first, he is silent, but within 5-10 minutes, the fan speed increases, computer is warm enough, and the fan is noisy. I'm not doing something unusual CPU-wise - just Mail and Safari, and little things like that. Indeed, even if I just open the computer and let it sit there, with nothing running, he ends up heating and the fan will run up to the noisy.
This causes also the battery to flow quickly and prematurely.
Things I did to try to fix it:
Reinstall El Capitan
Reset the SMC
Neither of these helped at all.
Any suggestions on what else to try? It drives me crazy.
Before Mavericks
Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder. Select all processes in the drop process . Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order. If find you a process that uses a large amount of time processor (> = 70,) then select the process, and then click the quit icon in the toolbar. Click the force quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.
Mavericks and later versions
Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder. Select all processes in the menu display . Click the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order. If you find a process that uses a large amount of CPU %, then select the process, then click on the quit icon in the toolbar. Click the force quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.

HP Envy: Updated, now Fan always on top
It used to be that if the fan was running upstairs, I closed just a few apps and it would immediately slow down and be almost inaudible.
Now the fan is always on (and the air coming out is hot enough) even when no apps are open, and the room is 62 degrees.
I did all the standard things:
- Updated the BIOS
- Cleaned all vents
- Disabled indexing
- Off many other features
- Turned Coolsense works
I have to just live with the extra noise?

Windows 10 worm 1607I went to this page:
https://www.wintips.org/how-to-fix-Svchost-exe-netsvcs-memory-leak-or-high-CPU-usage-problems
Finished and disabled the windows update and a few other things, and now the CPU usage dropped by 20 percent to about 2 percent.
I don't know exactly which thing solved, but now the fan is nice and quiet.

Satellite L755-1GH - noise from the fan always on
Hello
I own a laptop L755-1GH which has its fan always on, producing a large amount of noise. Temperature is not the 80 ° c but nor least fan is already blowing less than 70º, for now it is at 58ºC and it is already underway.
The pc is still in the warranty period, but I can't be without the pc, because that's my work pc.
Any ideas of how I can solve this problem?The Turbo is already disabled, and I use a cooling package... already blown air to clean the dust a few sec.
If I open it, I'll be out of warranty and I can't send it to the warranty...
Is there some Toshiba diagnostic tools?You can reduce the activity of fan if you change the option in the parameters of the method of cooling.
Power profile open that you use and go to advanced power settings.
You will find Toshiba power saver options and method of cooling.Change it to optimized battery.
Please, do it and post comments.

Office 2016 on MacBook Air (mid-2013)
I'm new to Mac and bought a MacBook Air 11 "(mi-2013)"
I'm considering now the office 2016 but the specs on office.com said requirment is 4 GB of RAM, which is what I have.
Office 2016 will be slow if I have several windows open?
I work usually with up to sessions of the word/PP and a bit of Internet.
If your Air of 2013 has 4 GB of RAM, then consider that OS X El Capitan will need this amount for any reasonable performance for himself. If you try to open multiple desktop applications 2016 simultaneous with several tabs of the browser, your Air will begin to swap memory on the disk to host, and your Air considerably slows down.
You will need to show restraint on what simultaneous applications are launched, and it will be more limited than what you expect.
An Air of 11 inches will help for the screen space with all open applications without the use of an external monitor.

Go to about: config and changed tabs on top for false but tabs are always on top.
Well, it is a bit of information that would have been helpful to forward. Enough criticism, wouldn't you say?
In any case, it worked, and I now have tabs on the bottom. Thank you.

Satellite Pro L series: fan always running even at IDLE when LAN is on
the fan always running even at IDLE when lan is on
Thanks for any help, that can stop the fan...Just see your questions:
What model of laptop do you have exactly?
What system do you use?
What exactly do you mean by power of LAN?I can tell you that the cooling modules are controlled by fan table stored in the BIOS.
Usually, the fan starts to spin if the CPU would be responsible for some unique applications/processes. It would also be possible that your fan is running continuously with low performance to maintain the low temperature. This isn't a real problem for laptop. -
In recent weeks, I noticed that my computer was storing the password and Safari auto-fill on a variety of Web sites seem to have disappeared from my computer. I never typed this passwords in my laptop (macbook air mid-2013), so for them to auto-fill on my phone, they must have been stored in the cloud, right? So is there a way to recover passwords on my laptop? I can't figure out a way to find a place to understand where these passwords are still stored so that I can get back them on my laptop that has no access to these passwords.
Thanks for your help.

Satellite A300 - fan always runs at full speed after full stop
When I stop the Satellite A300, the fan always runs at full speed.
Hello
What? Cooling modules run, even in this case, the cell phone is off?
Press the power button for at least 4 seconds, then the laptop must be turned off.
Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery
Wait about an hour and reconnect the battery and AC adapter
Then switch on the device after a certain time of use of turning the unit off and check if the cooling modules would stop too -
Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E-05E01FIT) - fan always to the maximum. Speed
Hello, in this laptop now I istalled this CPU: Intel Core Duo (Yonah) [email protected] and it's OK.
This morning, I tried to replace the processor with this: Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile T7200 (Merom) processor.
Works from pc but didn't enter the BIOS, the fan always starts at maximum speed, S.O. Windows XP Pro has started, but the fan still max speed!Why?
Hello!
You also have this problem with your old CPU?
In my opinion, the problem is the new processor. Maybe your motherboard / CPU doesn't support and so the fan run always on the highest speed.
If you just replace the CPU by yourself, it could be that you have used enough thermal grease.Updates on the laptop I can prefer this Toshiba document:

Satellite P100-347: after update 4.10 BIOS fan always runs at maximum
Hello!
I have a P100-347 and had graphics problems of stuttering while playing games. Updated BIOS 4.0 to 4.10, it solves the problem of stuttering!Now, my fan always runs at maximum, it never ideals.
It's always the same, even when I choose its configuration. I use the same drivers as before, just only update the bios.I tested with the latest divers chipset intel and Nvidia alsow driver and it's always the same.
So my concludes is the BIOS, is Toshiba knows something about this problem and work on a newer bios?Sincere friendships Ishmael
Everything indicates that the BIOS 4.10 is the problem common to the always high speed of the graphic fan even when the PC is in sleep mode.
I want to see action as a new revision of the BIOS 4.10!
